Q. & A. with Carol
Why did you start breeding?
We got into breeding while in upstate New York, they were such a rugged dog to go with us on trail rides and other things we just fell in love with them.
What makes your program special?
Our program concentrates on healthy, embark tested dogs. We love the blue eyes our male Jack produces.
We try to make sure our females are a good match to him, and look for a variety of colors to produce.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Carol was awesome! It was my first experience with Gooddog and Carol. I found the puppy I was looking for and the process was very easy. Carol kept me informed several times with photos and videos of the puppy. We are extremely happy with our new addition to the family. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a great puppy!

Carol kept me updated frequently with videos, pictures and messages as my pup was growing. The communication was excellent. She answered all my questions.
My pup was healthy, smart and well adjusted. He was socialized and had no problem adjusting to my household immediately. Did I mention he is also the most beautiful pup?
I highly recommend Spring Creek Aussies. I am a happy Aussie mom.
